"If you are a willing hacktivist or a guy who just wants to protect the freedom of information then join the cause and kill facebook for the sake of your own privacy."
Yes! Protect our freedom by telling everyone what their best interest is and attempting to enforce it against their will!
"You are not safe from them nor from any government."
Apparently Facebook has your information even if you don't make an account there. Also, no, no one in any country is safe from any government stuffface, the government will do whatever they want regardless of whether Facebook exists or not.
"It is not a battle over the future of privacy and publicity. It is a battle for choice and informed consent. It's unfolding because people are being raped, tickled, molested, and confused into doing things where they don't understand the consequences. Facebook keeps saying that it gives users choices, but that is completely false."
And
my choice is to keep using Facebook because it's the easiest way to keep tabs on everyone I know.
If you're too stupid to realize that none of your personal information is safe on the internet then it doesn't really matter if you're being confused into doing things. It's ignorance at fault of the people, Facebook is just running a business.
Yes, Facebook does give users choices; make an account or don't make an account. When I make the choice to hide certain information it's hidden, when I make the choice to not put down my street address it doesn't force me to, if I were to choose not to give out my cell phone number I wouldn't have to. Facebook isn't forcing anyone to do anything, it's Anonymous who is trying to force everyone into agreeing with them even if it means taking things away from people who have done nothing wrong. (People who have, say, created a Facebook account)
I know my ranting means nothing, and this may be re-hashed from other people but I just thought I'd put my two cents in.
